Default **** The Official 2007 LA Auto Show Thread ****

Well, today was freaking awesome. I spent the whole day out from 10 am to 1:30 am. It was a looong and fun day. Had plenty of laughs with the buddies all day. Enough talk, heres some pics for you all to look at. Excuse the crap quality on some of them, i only have a basic point and shoot camera.

BMW 1 Series

Im not really liking the look too much. It looks too short lengthwise and too tall in height, its just not proportional. Maybe its the paint color that i dont like that makes it look funny to me.



BMW M3 Coupe

It looks so hot. I love the new shape. The white paint greatly enhances the look by revealing all of the curves and lines in the body.




BMW M3 Sedan. It looks pretty cool. It was interesting to see it with four doors.



GT-R FTMFW1!!!!!! I couldnt get any really good pics of it. It was DAMN crowded around it. The amount of people there was unbeliveable!! It definately had the most attention at the auto show, and for good reason! Its so gorgeous. The brakes are humongous. Just wow. I got a cool large poster for it too.



Mercedes C63 AMG

Definately a good looking car. Its aggressive stance is awesome.



Lexus IS-F
They had a public dyno session for the IS-F outside the convention center. I watched a couple runs. It felt very sorry for the IS-F's engine. It had run after run after run with very little time to cool down in between. There was a huge line with people waiting to have their turn to floor it. I didnt bother cause it didnt seem very exciting. Its VERY quiet. I think its not loud enough for what a V8 should sound like. The whine from the dyno rollers drowned out much of the exhaust noise. It was funny how someone forgot to shift the auto tranny and bounced off the rev limiter for a few seconds. My friends and i all went

They didnt show any dyno numbers.




Lamborghini Reventon. I think this was by far the most AMAZING looking thing i saw there today. Sorry, the GTR doesnt come close to this in my book. I absolutely did not expect to see it at the auto show. Its styling is sooo extreme. I cant really describe how amazing it looked. There was a baller on the stage talking to one of the Lambo representives probably about purchasing one of the twenty in the world. Lucky him...



Corvette C6RS owned by Jay Leno.

Crap this thing must be outrageously quick. Talk about a street legal track machine...



Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

I personally like the way it looks. Its dramatically different and beefier looking than the previous generations, but the front is very aggressive. My only gripe is that the rear looks EXTREMELY bland compared to the front.




Ferrari F430 Scuderia. Teh sex. It makes the standard F430 look bland.



Well, i know i didnt take that many pictures. My crap camera has a very tough time taking pictures where the lighting isnt just right. I have pictures of some other cars like the Porsche GT2, but they dont look good, so i didnt bother to upload them. There was alot more cars at the show, but i just wanted to share the highlights and my favorites.

If ive got any spelling errors...excuse them. Its 3 am and im pretty damn tired.

It looks more like something a toy manufacturer would design than a real car.

I thought the Scuderia was the bluish-gray one at the other side of the Ferrari display?

I think that's a tease having the Lambos in view but you're not allowed to actually walk up to them.

They are both the same car, different color.

I wouldn't trade my Z for one even if I was still NA, IMO it's a step backwards. Don't get me wrong it's a good looking car with great performance, but to me it's too boy-racerish
